Damn, too bad the site shut down, it was terrific.

What's the best alternative, capfriendly?

Wow! I was on that site today doing a mock expansion draft. Good for him, bad for us.

Why wouldn't he sell it? I imagine Vegas probably bought it, but what a waste to hockey fans.

selling the site will just tarnish its reputation, their sources are their product and you can't sell your sources.

CapFriendly IMO is a better site anyways, so it's just 1 less option.

Weird that the NHL doesn't have a site like that run by the league.

That's actually a good observation.

Bettman said fans don't care about that kind of thing.

He actually said that.

God Bettman is out of touch.

Any who, I liked generalfanagr best. Once Capgeek got cancer, generalfanager was the next best option. Now them too?

I could see a conflict of interest if the nhl started analyzing teams rosters

If the NHL ran a site like that it would just be another bloated piece of crap running on SAP.

Thank god other sites do it.

You just burned Mudcrutch by implying he isn't a genius. You're also correct in implying that.

Did he ever published an article of his mock expansion draft before he got hired? I wonder who he picked for the flames.

All these hockey stats nerds getting hired makes me wish I was more serious about being a hockey stats nerd.

He did sell it:

http://flamesnation.ca/2016/9/15/the...ralfanager-com

Though the hire by Vegas might interfere a bit with this part of the plan:

Quote:
Oh snaaaaaaap! GeneralFanager.com - the best salary site in the business - is the 11th site in the Nation Network. Even better site creator Tom Poraszka will be joining our team in a full time capacity as the Director of Statistics and Resources. It’s a match made in hockey internet nerd heaven.

In this partnership we will work together to improve and manage our 3 resource sites: DailyFaceOff.com, GeneralFanager.com and NHLNumbers.com. Each site will have it’s own voice and statistics and we will work to integrate their data with one another and show it in a way that enriches the experience for everyone. We will improve the sites one at a time with Tom at the helm and finally the founder of NHLnumbers will get the break he was promised 6 years ago.
